Abstract

We obtain a volume growth and curvature decay result for various classes of complete, noncompact Riemannian metrics in dimension 4; in particular our method applies to anti-self-dual or Kähler metrics with zero scalar curvature, and metrics with harmonic curvature. Similar results were obtained for Einstein metrics in [And89], [BKN89], [Tia90], but our analysis differs from the Einstein case in that (1) we consider more generally a fourth order system in the metric, and (2) we do not assume any pointwise Ricci curvature bound.
